Yep, in the realm of BATF%ck Idiocy we have this:

ATF Classifies Pot Scrubbers as Silencers, Makes Possession Illegal

Story

"Sound/gas absorbing materials manufactured from Chore Boy copper cleaning pads, along with fiberglass insulation, constitute a silencer.

Therefore, it is illegal for an individual to replace deteriorated material within an already- registered suppressor without an approved ATF Form 1, ‘Application to Make and Register a Firearm,’” along with a “$200.00 making tax” and “a ‘no-marking’ variance…since there is no viable area in which to apply a serial number to the sound-absorbing material.”

That was 11 years ago, and they also went after rubber grommets you use at the end of one.


Have a great, gun carryin', Kenpo day

I bought these for cleaning my pans really!
Just when you thought things could not get any weirder.

This is hardly the biggest misuse of Chore Boy there is.

Possession of Chore Boy and a belt loop is probably punishable by death, or even worse.

YouTuber posted about it today. Starting at 3:20, there's a video(only really audio) taken by someone who'd bought a solvent trap, and got his friendly ATF 'visit'.

Wow, I'd love to have coffee with that dude at 3:20. Thumbs up.
